Summary of History
Falkland, located in a historic area north of Buckland, is a distinguished early 19th-century Federal-style manor house with a unique reddish-gold-colored stone construction. Positioned on a rise near the Bull Run Mountains, its expansive grounds feature a meticulously maintained English garden surrounded by brick and stone walls.
Constructed with exceptional craftsmanship, Falkland retains much of its original charm despite some modifications over the years. The interior, reflecting the style of a 19th-century cabinet-maker from the region, boasts spacious rooms and elegant Federal and Greek Revival architectural features.
Originally part of the vast Cloverland plantation, Falkland was likely built in the mid-19th century by John Hill Carter, a descendant of the influential Carter family associated with western Prince William County. The property, once sprawling over 500 acres, is now reduced to approximately 80 acres due to recent subdivision.
Historically, Falkland has been connected to notable figures such as Nick Carter, infamous for his association with Col. John S. Mosby during the Civil War. Over its history, Falkland has transitioned from a prominent agricultural estate shipping produce to Washington, D.C., to a privately owned residence.
Despite changes in ownership and land use, Falkland remains a significant architectural and historical landmark in Prince William County, reflecting the area's rich agricultural and cultural heritage from the early 19th century to the present day.
